Abstract: A method and system delivers a cryogenically stored fuel in a gaseous state into the air intake system of a gaseous fuelled internal combustion engine. The method involves measuring the pressure in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel, comparing the measured pressure to a required fuel supply pressure and supplying fuel in gaseous state directly from the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel to the fuel delivery line that supplies fuel to the engine, when the pressure measured in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel is equal to or higher than the required fuel supply pressure. The method further involves activating a cryogenic pump to deliver fuel to the internal combustion engine from the liquid space of the cryogenic storage vessel when the measured pressure in the vapor space is lower than the required fuel supply pressure.

Abstract: A cryogenic discharge muffler wherein the operation thereof depends on a small amount of cryogenic liquid being retained in a sump portion of the muffler assembly. The liquid boils away during off-cycles and prevents ice buildup on the muffler. The muffler is intended to disperse cryogenic liquid so that the liquid will evaporate on contact with air and thereby reduce or substantially minimize the hazard generally associated with the discharge of cryogenic liquids.

Abstract: A pressure control system comprises separate conduits for supplying liquefied gas and vapor from a cryogen space defined by a cryogenic storage tank. A first conduit can deliver liquefied gas to a use device through a heater and then a first flow controller. A second conduit can deliver vapor to the use device with flow therethrough controlled by a second flow controller. The first flow controller is not exposed to liquefied gas at cryogenic temperatures because it is located downstream from the heater. For automatic operation a pressure sensor measures pressure inside the cryogen space and the first and second flow controllers are independently operable to maintain the pressure inside the cryogen space within a predetermined range. In a preferred embodiment the liquefied gas is a combustible fuel that is consumed by an internal combustion engine, which is the use device.

Abstract: A boil-off gas (BOG) stream (15) from a liquefied hydrocarbon storage tank is split into a BOG heat exchanger feed stream (25) and a BOG bypass stream (35). The BOG heat exchanger feed stream (25) is heat exchanged in a BOG heat exchanger (40) against a process stream (135), thereby providing a warmed BOG stream (45) and a cooled process stream (195). The warmed BOG stream (45) is combined with the BOG bypass stream (35) to provide a temperature controlled BOG stream (55). Herein, the mass flow of the process stream (135) is controlled in response to a measured first temperature of at least one of (i) the warmed BOG stream (45) and (ii) the cooled process stream (195) to move the measured first temperature towards a first set point temperature; and the mass flow of one or both of the BOG heat exchanger feed stream (25) and the BOG bypass stream (35) are controlled in response to a measured second temperature of the temperature controlled BOG stream (55), to move the measured second temperature towards a second set point temperature.
